Look for Shawnbrey McNeal to get a look as a slot WR, too.

Shaun Moore is a safety now. BJ Lee and Bryce Lunday are RBs.


Haynes has been a WR since at least highscool right? More on-field experience? Willis has only been a WR for 16 games. Willis is a great leader in the locker room due to being benched and dealing with adversity but.....

Willis is a slot receiver, Haynes is a wide receiver.

I know BJ and Bryce were RB's last year. Why not name them as RB's on the roster then? JJ may feel comfortable with Shawnbrey McNeal at RB and what about Clay Wilson as the 'big' back.

I think they were talking about trying Aron Franklin at LB.

Isn't Willis an Inside Receiver and Haynes an Outside Receiver? So I doubt they are competing against each other.

The Aron Franklin we signed this year for the 2009 class will plat WR. But there is another Aaron Franklin that we are recruting this year for the 2010 that palys LB.

There are four receiver positions. We need more depth at that position. AR, ES, COLE LOFTIN, AND THE TRUTH. With all the back-ups and speed secondaries should be worn down in the 4th quarter giving all receivers better opportunities. I LIKE CATS TOO. LETS EXCHANGE RECIPES.

I must admit I'm a little surprised to see JWill still being talked about as a part of the 2009 team. Thought he would move on and play QB as a grad student for some FCS school.

Assuming he does stay, I wouldn't be surprised to see him returning punts and playing in the slot as a possession receiver...or in some 5 receiver sets. If JWill is anything, he is one heck of a competitor

Should be interesting to see if Haynes works hard to please the coaches. I still think he showed glimpses last year of being a guy who could be a factor in this offense.
